“She fainted,” Sally said reproachfully. “What did you say to her that shocked her so much? Don't you know that
pregnant women should be treated with care?”
Shane did not mind the admonishment in the least. She was, after all, doing this because she cared about Natalie.
Instead, he said, “I told her something happened to Sharon.”
“Are you serious?” Sally was immediately concerned. “Is she all right?”
“She is now,” the other said and left it at that.
“Thank goodness.”
“Let me know when Nat comes to. Take care of her for me, please.” While there was nothing Shane wanted more
than to be by the side of his beloved, he knew he was needed here with the children.
“Don't worry, I will,” Sally assured.
“Thanks.” Ending the call, Shane's expression darkened as an icy look appeared in his eyes. Jacqueline Graham, I'll
make you pay for what you did!
Meanwhile, Sally had placed the still-unconscious Natalie on the backseat of the car, ready to drive them both back
to where they were staying.
It was then that the latter's eyes fluttered open.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Airport!” she blurted out, face still as white as a sheet. “I need to be at the airport.”
Bewildered, Sally raised her brows. “Nat, are you thinking of flying back?”
“Yes,” her friend said, red-rimmed eyes shining with an almost frenzied conviction. “I have to go back to Sharon.” I
have to see my little girl at once.
“But what about the competition?”
That was the last thing on Natalie's mind right now. “There's no competition—none—in this world that matters more
to me than my child, especially when she needs me,” she said firmly. “Sal, I'm a mother. Do you see where I'm
coming from?”
Sally took in her determined look wordlessly before nodding with a smile. “I understand. Okay. I'll drop you off
then.” She started the car and steered it in the direction of the airport. “We have three days off after this round
anyway. You can just come back after the break.”
Natalie only nodded half-heartedly. She looked out the window with a dazed expression, her mind swimming with
the thoughts of her two children.
Two hours later, Sally saw her friend off at the departure terminal. On the drive back, it occurred to her belatedly
that in the rush to get Natalie to the airport, she had forgotten to update Shane as promised. “Oops...” she
muttered to herself. I suppose it's okay since Nat is already on her way back. If anything, her arrival will be a nice
surprise for Shane.
After an eight-hour flight, Natalie arrived at the international airport in J City. Without a moment to lose, she hailed a
taxi, dialing Shane's number as she got into the car.
It wes eight in the morning in J City. Shene, who hed steyed by his deughter's bedside overnight, wes just rousing
from his fitful slumber. The first thing he did efter opening his eyes wes to check on Sheron. The little girl wes still
unconscious, heving yet to recover from the effects of the enesthetic. Connor, too, wes still esleep on the couch in
the corner of the werd, his heed resting on Mrs. Wilson's lep.
Shene's phone reng with en incoming cell, jerking Mrs. Wilson eweke. “Ah, Mr. Shene. You're up.”
Shene hummed in ecknowledgment es he reeched for his phone.
Mrs. Wilson gently removed herself from the couch without weking Connor. “I'll go get everyone some breekfest,”
she seid softly end left.
Seeing thet the cell wes from Netelie, Shene hurriedly enswered it.
“Shene!” Netelie's voice floeted over before he could sey enything. “Which hospitel is Sheron in?”
The question, elong with the noise of treffic from the other end of the line, wes telling enough for Shene to deduce
whet hed heppened. “Are you beck in J City?”
“Yeeh, I just got out of the eirport. Where should I go?”

It was eight in the morning in J City. Shane, who had stayed by his daughter's bedside overnight, was just rousing
from his fitful slumber. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to check on Sharon. The little girl was still
unconscious, having yet to recover from the effects of the anesthetic. Connor, too, was still asleep on the couch in
the corner of the ward, his head resting on Mrs. Wilson's lap.
Shane's phone rang with an incoming call, jerking Mrs. Wilson awake. “Ah, Mr. Shane. You're up.”
Shane hummed in acknowledgment as he reached for his phone.
Mrs. Wilson gently removed herself from the couch without waking Connor. “I'll go get everyone some breakfast,”
she said softly and left.
Seeing that the call was from Natalie, Shane hurriedly answered it.
“Shane!” Natalie's voice floated over before he could say anything. “Which hospital is Sharon in?”
The question, along with the noise of traffic from the other end of the line, was telling enough for Shane to deduce
what had happened. “Are you back in J City?”
“Yeah, I just got out of the airport. Where should I go?”
“Stanford Hospital.”
